Time magazine has named „The Guardians“ — killed and imprisoned journalists — as Person of the Year for 2018.
The publication explained that these individuals were chosen „for taking great risks in pursuit of greater truths, for the imperfect but essential quest for facts, for speaking up and for speaking out.“
Four different Time covers were released Tuesday, all featuring journalists from across the globe. Among them is Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in October. President Donald Trump released a statement commenting on Khashoggi’s killing in November, saying that the United States would stand with Saudi Arabia despite Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman being accused of ordering the killing.
